Survival at Sea: I Became Number One by Growing Mushrooms

"It seems you don't want the chance. Make your move." The deputy commander waved his hand, and a dozen well-trained experts following behind him stepped forward.

He coldly attacked the group.

He's definitely a master; his movements are completely different from those rabble.

Bai Yu and Li Ming each held off one person, while Mei Mei held off one person with one beast.

The remaining people were split equally between Xu Jiawei and Si Yunming.

The miners were somewhat surprised. These were all top players in their respective servers, yet they were held back by this man and Miss Xu, who were handling the situation with ease.

Xu Jiawei released Rainbow, who led her henchmen to attack the so-called deputy leader.

The deputy commander merely snorted and took out a protective shield to cover himself.

She didn't want to kill these people, and she could clearly sense that they didn't want to kill her either, so they were at a stalemate.

Xu Jiawei thought for a moment and released the red earthworm. The red earthworm became very thin and long. At Xu Jiawei's command, it weaved among the people and gradually tied them into a knot, binding them up.

Si Yunming also had the octopus entangle him in the same way.

Everyone was under control. Although Li Ming's opponent was not controlled, he was extremely unlucky due to Li Ming's talent. He kept falling down, getting up and falling down again.

Xu Jiawei called Li Ming over and asked him to unleash his talent on these people.

After Li Ming unleashed his talent, those who were about to break free were bound again. Some twisted their waists and were tied up again, while others fell and were bound even tighter.

Seeing that these people were under control, Xu Jiawei looked towards the protective shield. It was time to deal with these people.

The deputy commander was quite clever; seeing that his men had all been arrested, he immediately led them away.

Xu Jiawei didn't even see a shadow of her. The people struggling on the ground stopped struggling when they saw that their leader had run away. They just sat there obediently, so Xu Jiawei let them go.

"Xu, I sensed a familiar aura in that deputy chief. He's probably not him anymore," Si Yunming said, staring in the direction the deputy chief had disappeared.

"Could it be a dark aura? Has this person been corrupted?" Xu Jiawei's face immediately darkened. Even high-ranking officials have been corrupted?

Si Yunming shook his head. "It doesn't look like it. It's more like a demonized creature in disguise."

Xu Jiawei rubbed her head and looked at the others who had already stood up. "Did you all hear that?"

The group was filled with doubt and surprise. Had their leader really been replaced? The leader thought for a moment, then looked at Xu Jiawei and said, "Perhaps you are right. Since coming to this world, our leader's personality has changed drastically. He has become cruel and suspicious, and even his habits have changed a lot. Perhaps..." He didn't want to continue.

Xu Jiawei said, "Go back and keep an eye on him. Don't let anyone find out. There are definitely more than just him among the players who have been corrupted. Also, keep an eye on the others."

The group nodded and returned to the teleportation array before leaving.

Since it's a mutated creature that wants the energy stone, they absolutely refuse to give it to it.

Xu Jiawei re-contacted Teacher Mofeng, wanting to ask him how to cancel and redraw the teleportation array.

Xu Jiawei also pulled Zhang Yunting over and explained the matter to him. Zhang Yunting suddenly understood and gave Xu Jiawei another message.

"Xiao Xu, if Brother Si's intuition is correct, then the leader of 'Order' may have been replaced. He and the deputy leader are in cahoots; they worked together to oust my leader." Zhang Yunting sighed sadly, then immediately relayed the message back to the new leadership team.

"I suggest that your new leadership team also conduct a self-examination to see who has undergone a drastic personality change, so that the same thing doesn't happen again." Xu Jiawei looked at Zhang Yunting seriously.

Zhang Yunting nodded.

Xu Jiawei made the call for ten minutes before Mo Feng finally answered.

Mo Feng looked like he had just woken up; his hair was uncombed, sticking out in natural curls, and he was still wearing pajamas.

"Speak quickly if you have something to say. I'm sleepy, and why haven't you gone to take your exam yet?" Mo Feng's voice was a little impatient, as if he was trying his best to suppress his temper, or rather, his morning grumpiness.

"Teacher Mofeng, I'm so sorry, I've acquired a new skill, and I need time to grind its proficiency to the minor mastery level. Teacher, I have a question for you: how can I destroy the teleportation array I made before and redraw it?"

Mo Feng perked up a bit: "What I meant was to let you practice two or three skills until you achieve a certain level of proficiency so you can take the exam. It's my fault for not explaining clearly. Come to my place tomorrow."

"Isn't this the energy mine from last time? It looks like you haven't finished mining it yet. Why are you destroying the teleportation array?"

"Teacher Mofeng, here's what happened..." Xu Jiawei explained the whole story.

Mo Feng's expression gradually turned serious: "They've infiltrated the higher echelons? Do we have any higher echelons in our world?" Mo Feng muttered to himself. Even the higher echelons of outsiders who had only been here for less than three months had been infiltrated, yet their continent hadn't discovered a single one. This was very abnormal. Could it be that they had been infiltrated to the point of being riddled with holes, with the imposters protecting each other, so that none of them had been exposed?

That's not good news; it needs to be reported.

Mo Feng snapped out of his daze, told Xu Jiawei the method, and then hurriedly hung up the call.

Erasing the teleportation array is quite difficult. Xu Jiawei looked at everyone and said, "Then I'll do it."

Xu Jiawei took a deep breath and began to destroy the structure of the teleportation array.

After all, this is a very dangerous matter; it could explode at any moment. So it's better for Xu Jiawei, the magician apprentice, to do it.

Xu Jiawei carefully wiped the runes, very seriously. By the time she finished wiping, two hours had passed.

For the past two hours, Xu Jiawei had been squatting on the ground until her legs were numb. Finally, the teleportation array slowly disappeared, and Xu Jiawei wiped the sweat from her forehead.

Subsequently, the group worked together to redraw the new teleportation array.

Meanwhile, in a luxurious joint fleet, the deputy commander's face was dark and inscrutable. They had finally found the stolen energy stone mine again, but they didn't expect these people to be so ruthless as to destroy the teleportation array.

"Damn humans! He hasn't even rebuilt the new portal yet!" The deputy chief immediately turned and headed towards the chief's office.

The returning guards exchanged glances and followed.

......

Looking at the newly drawn teleportation array, Xu Jiawei rubbed her sore waist and then looked at Zhang Yunting.

"Brother Zhang, don't tell anyone else about this teleportation array for now. You should mine the ore yourself. I don't trust anyone else. Their goal is to rebuild the teleportation gate. If more demonized humans enter, the consequences will be unimaginable." Xu Jiawei looked at the pile of materials next to her.

She asked Mo Feng, and it became clear what these demonized humans wanted to do: they wanted to reclaim the energy stone mine.

Zhang Yunting, still shaken, looked at Xu Jiawei apologetically: "It's all because we weren't paying attention to this kind of thing, which almost caused this energy stone mine to fall into the hands of demonic creatures. Fortunately, we discovered it early, otherwise we would be sinners for all eternity."

"Don't worry, I won't give the portal to anyone else this time."
